EasyGov has recently developed an Aadhaar stack based Entitlement Engine that will help any family check all possible benefits they can avail from various welfare schemes offered to them not only by the Centre but also the State Governments and NGOs. The startup has processed over 10,000 service request in the last 12 months in National Capital Region (NCR).

"There are some ideas that simply apply to a Billion Indians. What EasyGov is solving, is a tough, complex problem. I am very impressed with the team's deep domain expertise and tech chops," said Rajan Anandan, Vice President and Managing Director Google India and South-East Asia.

EasyGov has done over Rs 25 Lakhs revenue in the last Financial Year with over 20 services available in NCR, according to a statement from the company. The startup is currently in talks with various Government institutions and service providers for offering services on cloud.
